Barcelona make 'final decision' on Xavi contract demands for key player amid Inter Miami interest

The Camp Nou boss wants Sergi Roberto's deal to be extended

Barcelona have a number of contracts due to expire at the end of this season and two loan players set to leave the Camp Nou at the conclusion of the season - and they have reportedly made a 'final decision' on one star.

Defender Joao Cancelo and midfielder Joao Felix are poised to return to Manchester City and Atletico Madrid when the 2023/24 campaign comes to an end.

Defender Marcos Alonso's deal is also set to expire at the end of this season after a two-year spell at the La Liga outfit, whom he moved to in the summer of 2022 from Chelsea, but has fallen out of favour this campaign and looks very likely to depart when his deal expires at the end of June.

There is another big player who, as things stand, is set to leave Barca this summer, and it's a big one in the form of club captain Sergi Roberto.

The 31-year-old came through the youth team ranks at Barcelona and made his debut for the club in 2010.

Since then, he has amassed more than 350 appearances for the Camp Nou side and scored 19 goals in all competitions.

It has also been a trophy-laden spell for the midfielder, with seven La Liga titles, six Copa del Reys, and two Champions Leagues under his belt.

Roberto is also a fully fledged Spain international, with 11 caps to his name and one goal.

But his deal runs out this summer and, as things stand, he could leave the Spanish outfit on a free transfer for pastures new.

However, that is not Xavi's wish and Spanish outlet Sport reports that an agreement between both parties is expected to be reached and keep Roberto at the Camp Nou for another season, amid transfer speculation that he could be the latest Barcelona player who leaves the club to head to the MLS and Inter Miami.

If that did happen, he would follow the likes of former Barca team-mates Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba in heading Stateside.

But it appears he will remain at the Catalan giants, as Xavi gets his wish of keeping his captain Roberto with Barcelona for at least another campaign.
